Our country often is referred to as a shining city on the hill; we are the nation that purports to honor, support and defend the dignity and value of all people. A reasonable goal in this regard for our own country is:
Every person in America, whatever his or her race, means or station in life, shall have a safe environment with adequate shelter, food, medical care, education and opportunity so that each person can realize his or her full potential.
There are many aspects of this broad goal. Racial equality is a critical part of all equality. Inequality results not just from private citizens, but the actions of governments as well. Since the founding of America, government created, enforced and sanctioned racial inequality that has impacted virtually every aspect of life.

(CN) Just one day after facing a groundbreaking suit over fiduciary duty, the stock-trading app Robinhood Financial reached a federal settlement Thursday over a practice said to have cost customers tens of millions of dollars.
The Securities and Exchange Commission went after Robinhood over a controversial practice called “payment for order flow” that allegedly has led users to pay more for stock they buy and get less money for stock they sell than they otherwise would have.
Undercutting the value of its commission-free trading system, Robinhood uses payment for order flow so that stock orders are routed to companies willing to compensate it for the work rather than the companies that offer the best available prices.
